Warm Weather Hygge
By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures." There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back. There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip. Many tend to associate this practice in the cooler months of Fall and Winter because it tends to focus on the act of being cozy. Snuggling under a blanket, enjoying a warm, healing cup of tea by the fireplace (or fireplace on TV ), lighting a favorite candle while doing a calming hobby like cross stitch or scrapbooking.

Good luck with the refrigerator coming! I hope you really like it and it has good organization options once it's filled up, all shiny and new!
ReplyDeleteI have to run to pick up a bag of ice today and that's all I have to do in public that I know of. lol I didn't get to anything on my list yesterday so today is empty boxes, breaking down boxes, doing laundry, returning a bra through the post office, and trying not to be grumpy the whole day. Ha! Weather is supposed to be quite good, given we had snow and ice Monday and 45mph sustained winds yesterday. Dogs will definitely get walks in this weekend. Then I work the weekend. Bah.
Have a good weekend and try to get that nice drive in! xoxo
Me too! It's always weird to have to potentially rearrange stuff you're used to grabbing in one spot for 11 years! Hope you had fun breaking down your boxes and you and the pups don't blow away.
DeleteYep got lots to do today to prep for the fridge. Just hope we do get some time to get out and about tomorrow after getting the delivery cause it just seems like a good time to get out. Have a great weekend everybody!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your hard work getting that together! Looks like we've got an earlyish time slot so we don't have to be stuck here all day!
DeleteWe did a driving road trip and private rental place over spring break, so I'm trying to get myself geared up to go back to school tomorrow. The big excitement for the weekend is to make a grocery run. Woohoo. I agree about staying 6 feet away from me even after all of this is over - I think that should be a social norm. If I don't know you, I don't want you any closer than that. I usually get several colds a year and haven't yet this year (knock on wood) I think b/c kids are actually staying home when they are sick and wearing a mask keeps me from touching my face so much.
